House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green, R-Tenn., is departing Capitol Hill early, he announced on Monday.

Green said he is leaving Congress for the private sector after the House votes again on President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful bill" in the coming weeks, in a statement first obtained by Fox News Digital.

"It is with a heavy heart that I announce my retirement from Congress. Recently, I was offered an opportunity in the private sector that was too exciting to pass up. As a result, today I notified the Speaker and the House of Representatives that I will resign from Congress as soon as the House votes once again on the reconciliation package," Green said.

WTH??? You get elected to go represent the people of your district. You don’t bail on them in the middle of your term. Self-centered jerk.

His excuse rings about as true as “to spend time with my family.”

Does anyone else remember the congressional resignations prior to Trump’s previous mid-terms? I do.

Which is it? Heavy heart or exciting new opportunity? Sounds like he’s been bought off.

Same thing happened in 2018. Paul Ryan was the Speaker and he called it quits.

he has a messy affair situation that lead to end of his marriage
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14795877/mark-green-announces-shock-retirement-congress-alleged-affair.html
“His former wife was accused of sending messages to those around Capitol Hill warning that the devil had manipulated her husband.

‘Satan has rewritten our marriage in his mind,’ she wrote. ‘I am being quite open about this as 1) I cherish the prayer of any who are willing and 2) I want to make others aware of how readily available “predators” are for our husbands.’ “

Yeah this a very bad look. I don’t know this guy at all, and don’t want to know him.

Who needs Mossad when our own CIA/FBI run the biggest honey traps in the world?

One of the guys who’s made himself filthy rich on a congressman’s salary. In fact, more so than any other republican, IIRC. I say audit his ass right down to his socks.

I remember. Many took an early retirement and people like Jeff Flake bailed on purpose with Paul Ryan to cause us to lose the midterms to hurt Trump, and us.

The CIA and FBI are second rate compared to what Mossad can pull off.

Recently, I was offered an opportunity in the private sector that was too exciting to pass up.

Laundered bribe through a "book deal" is my bet.
